About:
Drogheda Brass Band was formed in 1886 as the Colonel Leonard Fife and Drum Band, named after a local man who was a colonel in the Union Army in the American Civil War and became involved in the Fenian movement. In the early 1900s the band purchased the instruments of the disbanded Band of the Leinster Regiment of the British Army and became the Drogheda Brass and Reed Band. This formation remained until 1964 when the present all-brass format was adopted and they became the Drogheda Brass Band.
